CONTROL YOUR EMAIL

Having to trawl through your inbox every day can be a full-time job in itself. Here’s how to work your way to inbox zero

When it comes to email, what’s meant to be a handy way to stay in touch has transformed into a non-stop barrage of spam and unwelcome solicitations to help deposed princes hide their riches. Email so dominates our digital lives that even opening your inbox can give you pause.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. We should be able to take back control of our email and put ourselves in the driving seat once and for all. Something most of us use every day shouldn’t be so stress inducing.

Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to do this. Sometimes that means taking on a new email app that’s focused on cleanliness and clutter-free workflows. At other times it may be best to take a sword to your newsletters in order to truly clear out your inbox. Whatever approach you need, we’ve got some great tips lined up for you on this page.
